Sherry, London , “I love Nokia Phones”

+ Great light-weight phone. Only 75g. The main reason I choose this phone.
Shortcut keys available from main screen. This is very handy as you can choose to have your favorites or more used keys here.
Expandable memory.

- The operating system tends to hang if moving around to different functions too fast. The only way to re-boot it is to remove the battery. The on/off button on top will not work for this. I find this the most frustrating about this phone and regret not going with my other choice of phone the Nokia E51. Even my old Nokia 6233 was capable of following my fast key movements.
Back cover to the phone to remove the battery sticks, difficult to remove the cover without pressing down the keys to the front of the phone.

+ | wanted a phone specifically to listen to music and to text on! and the 5310 does what it says on the tin! I have over 500 tracks on the mp3 and the fact it has separate controls for the mp3 is fantastic! you can set up playlists and the software to transfer files is really easy to use for those of us with slight technophobia!

- The back casing is a bit flimsy, but this is because of the lightweight design

- the battery does not last long especially when playing games or playing mp3's the camera has no flash or light so night time pics are out of the question and the video quality is quite grainy

Jon, Cardiff

+ Nice slim phone & feels good quality
Looks very good
The phone was bought for the music utility and the fact it has a standard earphone socket - it has achieved full satisfaction in these areas.

- Use of music does drain the battery - obviously size of battery comprimised over size of phone - but that's no different to every other phone really!
Headphone socket is constantly open, Nokia should develop a cover or plug to keep it from blocking.

- 2 separate handsets developed a clear problem of freezing after a missed call, only rectififed by removing the battery. After qurying various fora it is clear this is a universal problem with the handset. OWN GOAL - potentially the best phone I've owned turned out to be the worst and I returned it to get my money back

+ It's small but easy enough to use and remarkable value. The keypad is small and takes a little getting used to, but no problems now. Battery life is good except if you play music very much, but that seems an obvious tradeoff for having such a small phone.

- The software is a bit clunky with sometime having to use three buttons to do what you should be able to do with one. And I wish it would have some kind of select-music option before it responds to the play key on the side! I've accidentally started the music a few times. But then i do not know what other manufacturers offer. I keep missing calls if the phone is on vibrate only though.

Marilyn, Gloucester

+ the phone is easy to use, and looks good.

- The battery life could be better hopefully it will get better when the battery has been run down and charged
a few times. The software is cumbersome to use but it is easy to drag and drop music onto the phone without using the software.

+ The memory capacity is amazing, and music quality.

- the 'play' button is on the outside of the phone and still blurts out music if pressed even if you set the phone to silent. Working things out is annoying sometimes, if you save a number to sim the phone can't find it when you're sending a text, the camera is absolutely AWFUL. Any movement at all and the photo is ruined, and each photo takes about 20 seconds to 'process'.

+ One of the few phones I've found that is reasonably priced with an alarm clock. I didn't buy the phone for the music options so I have not yet used those functions, mainly bought it for the alarm clock. Camera is good and video too.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ Really easy to use. Not too complicated to work out the menu.

- Screen saver and wall paper not very good designs or options and also not a lot to choose from for ring tones.
